Jay-Z is paranoid about not proving to be a great father to Blue Ivy, his daughter with singer Beyonce.
The rap mogul, who is releasing his latest album Magna Carta Holy Grail this week, has opened up about fatherhood and its fears in one of the songs from the album, the E! Online reported.
In one of the commercials currently airing to promote the album, Jay-Z became emotional while talking about Blue Ivy. He still marvels at her.
"It's most obvious on the song 'Jay Z Blue.' And it deals with-you know, my pop left when I was young, so he didn't teach me how to be a man nor how to raise a child or treat a woman. So, of course, my karma, the two things I needed I don't have, right?
"And I have a daughter. It's the paranoia of not being a great dad."
Jay-Z, 43, recently released the album art and the track-list for Magna Carta Holy Grail where he has collaborated with Rick Ross, Frank Ocean, Justin Timberlake and his wife Beyonce.
